Q: I received notice of final intent to levy and 668 federal lien letter. For both I immediately sent the 12153 forms
because I want to make sure I did ON TIME and was told this would be hold on further action/collections until hearing where I hope to work out OIC or someother resolution since in hardship and don't have funds to pay,etc. My question is - I am now working with Tax Relief service because I was overwhelmed and was scared I wasn't going to be prepared,etc. If Tax Relief service takes the case over - will this negate my request for CDP? because I must make sure that request goes through so I have opportunity and time to have hearing and if needed, appeal etc. Please advise back. Thanks.

A:
If you're working with a tax relief service, it won't negate your request for a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. As long as you submitted the Form 12153 on time, your request should still be processed by the IRS. The tax relief service can assist you in preparing for the hearing and in negotiating a resolution such as an Offer in Compromise (OIC).
It's important to ensure that the tax relief service is aware of your CDP request and has all the necessary documentation. This will help them represent you effectively and ensure that your hearing proceeds as scheduled. Keep in close contact with the service to stay informed about any updates or additional actions required on your part.
Lastly, remember that the CDP hearing provides you with the opportunity to present your case and discuss potential solutions for your tax debt. This process can also buy you some time to work out an arrangement that considers your financial hardship. Stay proactive and communicate regularly with both the IRS and your tax relief service to ensure the best outcome.
